Global Notes: Note (G1): Position of the NUV source, or FUV if seen in FUV only Note (G2): the objid number is a 64-bit integer composed by 9 numbers (≪ is the shift operator, i.e. ≪n means multiplied by 2n): objid = (vsn≪61) + (tile≪45) + (type≪43) + (ow≪41) + (prod≪37) + (img≪25) + (try≪22) + (band≪20) + xid vsn = version number of the pipeline tile = Tile or field or target number type = Observation type (00=single,01=AIS(multi)) ow = optics wheel position (01=direct,10=grism,11=opaque,00=undefined) prod = product number (visits, best, etc) img = visit/sub-visit number (when type=01: 5 bit subvis + 7 bit visit) try = try (processing) number band = band: 01=nuv,10=fuv,11=both,00=undefined) xid = Extraction ID Note (G3): The artifact flag is defined within a 3x3pix box in the image, centered on the source centroid pixel. It is made of 10 bits with the following meaning: 1 = (edge) Detector bevel edge reflection (NUV only). 2 = (window) Detector window reflection (NUV only) 4 = (dichroic) Dichroic reflection. 8 = (varpix) Variable pixel based on time slices. 16 = (brtedge) Bright star near field edge (NUV only) 32 = Detector rim(annulus) proximity(>0.6 deg fld ctr) 64 = (dimask) dichroic reflection artifact mask flag 128 = (varmask) Masked pixel determined by varpix. 256 = (hotmask) Detector hot spots. 512 = (yaghost) Possible ghost image from YA slope. Note (G4): raw magnitudes do not take the zero points into account. Note (G5): SExtractor flags are (Bertin and Arnouts 1996A&AS..117..393B): 1 = The object has neighbors, bright and close enough to significantly bias the photometry, or bad pixels. 2 = The object was originally blended with another one. 4 = At least one pixel of the object is saturated (or very close to). 8 = The object is truncated (too close to an image boundary). 16 = Object's aperture data are incomplete or corrupted. 32 = Object's isophotal data are incomplete or corrupted.
